Está cercano a muchos comercios como cafeterías, tiendas departamentales, restaurantes, cines, tiendas de zapatos, karaokes. Además queda todo muy cercano. La línea dos del metro está a 1 minuto de distancia y Hongdae queda a pocos minutos caminando. Recomendable.

작년에 새로 리모델링 했다고 사장님께 들었음. 직원 안내 받지 않더라도 친절하게 체크인 방법 안내 미리 받았고, 무엇보다 가장 마음에 드는 점은 신촌역에서 출구로부터 걸어서 1분~2분 걸리는 훌륭란 접근성. 역에서 이렇게 가까운 숙소를 본 적이 없어서 이것 하나만으로도 강추할만한 곳
